Using UDE and doing Export All Scripts under the Actors is what I did. It appears the classes are all exported and I was able to build a good class tree through WOTgreal Dev version.

The problem is that a lot of the code is Omitted for a lack of a better word. It looks like all the classes are exported, but some of the important files only seem to have a couple lines of code when there is clearly a lot of things that are programmed in it. Yes, there's enough to work with, but a lot of what I need to see how some of the UT2004 code would be changed to UT3 isn't in there. With UT2004 the downloaded source code seemed to be complete letting me understand how to make additions to my own mods.

Am I missing something or do you guys have the same results?

I exported all scripts in tact after I installed the patch(es). I couldn't get it to fully export with the unpatched retail version.

I'm on the version 1.1 patch and it says it exports all, but there appears to be a lot of code not inside some of the *.uc files on purpose. I have some examples, but the computer I code on is off at the house.

I'd be willing to bet that the classes you're talking about simply have a lot of blank lines just after the class declaration, and that you didn't see that you could scroll down.

There are quite a few spots in the .uc code that are commented out and redacted because it was originally written in cpp. In order to be any more specific or helpful i would need to see an example of one of these files.

and a lot of (cpptext) lines later there is a few little functions at the end.

Yes, this is normal. its to tease you.

It was written in cpp to increase speed.

Indeed. The previous versions of UT also didn't export 'everything' that was in the scripts.
Epic also released an 'official' version of the scripts.

Keep in mind that you should never have to edit those files directly. It is an OOP so you can just subclass anything that needs changes. You'll only run into problems if you need to get at the core-classes, but chances are that you aren't following Epic's way of thinking or it simply is impossible as it requires native support.

I just want example code really. The public release of the UT2004 Source codes had a lot more useful information to Guide us than the current exported script in my opinion.

no way, there are tons of uscript examples in there.
2k3/2k4 had the same.

Also look at the 'test-classes' that are in the code already.
They show how to use a few of the new features like interfaces ...

More documentation does help though, I'll have to agree but I also know how difficult it is to keep your code documented as it is a lot of work for something you don't expect to need yourself.

The official scripts are a much better place to get your source from, since you dont get all the ObjectArchetype garbage that you get form the exported ones.

What do you mean by "The official scripts" ?

What do you mean by "The official scripts" ?

released by epic games and not just exported with the editor.

Do you have a link? How are these ones that are released by epic more official than the ones that we explort from their packages?

You'll notice this is much cleaner than the version you export, as it doesn't have all the ObjectArchetype stuff, and the optional properties in and around the Begin Object / End Object blocks.

That's the first I've seen of Epic released source for UT3. It ought to be announced better.

That page has seriously lacking documentation on publishing and cooking behavior, such as files being deleted from Published when a map is cooked/published, or how publishing a map cooks it and all its dependencies.

OMFG that needs to be announced at the top of Epics lungs!

I've been struggling with the exported scripts this whole time and they were gonna release that stuff the whole time?

Struggling? im not sure i see the benefit. If the code is exported and has only extra crap in it (namely extended defaultproperties and the commented out cpp tags all over the place) than how can you be struggling?

I just exported the code as of 1.1. update and from what i can see the code that i have hasnt even been updated. Ive exported four times thinking i must have something wrong. Bravo with finding this. There are quite a few files that are missing from the export that are in the 1.1 update, although they appear to be map related. This is quite distressing to see.

That should have been fixed by the patch.

I was struggling because:

1. I did not know what a lot of that stuff was in the exported scripts, stuff that's not in the released source. Archetype, etc. I'm a n00b.

2. I wasn't reading the error messages in front of me :rolleyes: . "When subclassing, don't include Class=XXX ". Some of the exported scripts will have 'Class=XXX' lines when the original source doesn't. Because of that, I was having success with the original source while failing with the export scripts even though I was following the exact same steps.

I'm very new to modding. I wasn't sure how it worked and I never expected Epic to release source like that. I thought the 'export scripts' feature was just a hack the rest of us were using to have some place to start out from. With the source release all I have to say is holy crap thanks Epic!
